Hi dev, I'd like to discuss the possibility to remove the new-consumer option in the ConsoleConsumer tool.
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-176%3A+Remove+deprecated+new-consumer+option+in+ConsoleConsumer+tool I have already opened a JIRA with related PR for marking it as deprecated in the next release (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5599) as suggested by Ismael Juma. The next step should be to vote/accept the KIP and removing the option from the tool in the subsequent release cycle.
